Seabird Taxonomoy
Steve N. G. Howell reviews recent papers

Many of you on Shearwater Journeys trips have enjoyed Steve Howell's leadership and obvious fascination with the sea. This note was written as a personal review and gives us a rare chance to further glimpse his intellect at work. Steve examines two recent papers on seabird taxonomy and raises questions on the current state of taxonomic concepts. Originally sent to "ID Frontiers", the internet mailing list for birdwatchers interested in the frontiers of field identification, this review is offered here in Rich Text Format.
